Hey. Hi. Hello.
You’ve been sent here because you have, whether knowingly or not, committed a grave sin in communicating. It’s nothing personal.
You may find the following useful as a refresher:
BRIEF
B (Background): Provide a quick context—what prompted the message?
R (Reason): Explain why you’re speaking now—why should they pay attention?
I (Information): Provide two to three key nuggets of information you want to share. What are the bullet points of the conversation?
E (End): Decide on what note you want to leave the conversation
F (Follow-up): Consider the questions you anticipate the recipient will ask you when you finish speaking and prepare answers in advance
Now, if there’s something I can help you with, let’s try again.
In any event, be well!
